hi everyone,
i have a bit of problem concerning my Reef Octopus BioPellet Reactor. during power outages the pellets will get siphon to the pump jamming the pipe and restricting waterflow.
please refer to the picture below if you have any suggestions on how i can prevent the pellets from entering the pipe without sacrificing water flow and dirt accumulating on it.
Thanks!

I'm using ro pellet also and it has a check valve in between the pipe to prevent back flow in case of power shortage. check mo baka stock up lang.

ty joey. yep nakita ko nga yung check valve but the problem is sa sobrang dalas mag brownout dito (living up north province) the pellet manages to reach the check valve and accumulate, restricting water flow.
had an idea over the weekend i think yung housing ng activated carbon might do the trick. hehe.
